We report a case of concomitant pulmonary cryptococcosis, aspergillosis, and tuberculosis in a renal transplant recipient diagnosed on FNAC.A 50-year-old renal transplant recipient, asymptomatic for 3 year, presented with intermittent low-grade fever associated with cough, expectoration, and a newly developed cavitatory lesion in the left lung on chest X-ray. Computed tomography-guided FNAC performed on the lung lesion showed fungal profiles with septate hyphae and acute-angled branching consistent with morphology of Aspergillus. In addition, numerous yeast forms of cryptococcus and a few acid-fast mycobacterial tubercle b...

Evaluation of the efficacy of four weak acids as antifungal preservatives in low-acid intermediate moisture model food systems.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The potential efficacy of four weak acids as preservatives in low-acid intermediate moisture foods was assessed using a glycerol based agar medium. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC, % wt./wt.) of each acid was determined at two pH values (pH 5.0, pH 6.0) and two a(w) values (0.85, 0.90) for five food spoilage fungi, Eurotium herbariorum, Eurotium rubrum, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium roqueforti. Sorbic acid, a preservative commonly used to control fungal growth in low-acid intermediate moisture foods, was included as a reference. The MIC values of the four acids were lower at pH 5.0 th...

Inflammatory Monocytes Facilitate Adaptive CD4 T Cell Responses during Respiratory Fungal Infection.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Aspergillus fumigatus, a ubiquitous fungus, causes invasive disease in immunocompromised humans. Although monocytes and antigen-specific CD4 T cells contribute to defense against inhaled fungal spores, how these cells interact during infection remains undefined. Investigating the role of inflammatory monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic cells during fungal infection, we find that A. fumigatus infection induces an influx of chemokine receptor CCR2- and Ly6C-expressing inflammatory monocytes into lungs and draining lymph nodes. Depletion of CCR2(+) cells reduced A. fumigatus conidial transport from lungs to draining ...

Evaluation of the expression of TLR-2, Dectin-1 and TNF-α level in invasive aspergillosis in cancer miceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In this study, we explored whether the innate resistance to IA in cancer mice has resulted in altered expression of TLR-2 and Dectin-1 in macrophages (flow cytometry) and production of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α; ELISA) as well as overall mortality. The data demonstrated significant increases in Dectin-1 and TLR-2 on peritoneal macrophages and mortality in cancer mice intravenously infected with A. fumigatus. TNF-α levels were not significantly increased in this group. Probably, IA causes some disorganization in inflammatory responses. We hypothesize that concomitance of IA and cancer may change the micro-en...

[] Azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus: a side-effect of environmental fungicide use?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Invasive aspergillosis due to multi-azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus has emerged in the Netherlands since 1999, with 6·0–12·8% of patients harbouring resistant isolates. The presence of a single resistance mechanism (denoted by TR/L98H), which consists of a substitution at codon 98 of cyp51A and a 34-bp tandem repeat in the gene-promoter region, was found in over 90% of clinical A fumigatus isolates. This is consistent with a route of resistance development through exposure to azole compounds in the environment. Indeed, TR/L98H A fumigatus isolates were cultured from soil and compost, were shown to be cross-resist...

Efficacy of Posaconazole against three clinical Aspergillus fumigatus Isolates with Mutations in the cyp51A Gene.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The in-vivo efficacy of posaconazole against 4 clinical Aspergillus fumigatus isolates with posaconazole MICs ranging from 0.03 to 16 mg/L, as determined with the CLSI-M38A method, was assessed in a nonneutropenic murine model of disseminated aspergillosis. Underlying resistance mechanisms of the isolates included substitutions in the cyp51A gene at codon 220 (M220I), codon 54 (G54W) and codon 98 (L98H). The latter was combined with a 34 bp tandem repeat in the gene promoter region (TR/L98H). The control isolate exhibited a wild type phenotype without any known resistance mechanism. Oral posaconazole therapy was starte...

Gbetagamma-mediated growth and developmental control in Aspergillus fumigatus.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The roles of the Gbetagamma subunits of the opportunistic human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus were investigated. The predicted AfuSfaD (Gbeta) protein consists of 353 amino acids and shows 94-98% similarity with other Aspergillus Gbeta subunits. AfuGpgA consists of 90 amino acids showing 95-98% identity with other fungal G-protein gamma subunits. The deletion (Delta) of AfusfaD or AfugpgA resulted in severe impairment in vegetative growth, conidial germination and conidial trehalose breakdown. While the total number of conidia produced by DeltaAfusfaD and DeltaAfugpgA strains on solid medium was only about 1% of wild ...

A set of different integrative expression vectors for the intracellular production of recombinant proteins with or without affinity tag in Aspergillus niger was developed. Target genes can be expressed under the control of the highly efficient, constitutive pkiA promoter or the novel sucrose-inducible promoter of the beta-fructofuranosidase (sucA) gene of A. niger in the presence or absence of alternative carbon sources. All expression plasmids contain an identical multiple cloning sequence that allows parallel construction of N- or C-terminally His(6)- and StrepII-tagged versions of the target proteins.

We describe a large series of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and probable invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), and the risk factors and incidence of the disease in patients with isolation of Aspergillus from lower respiratory tract samples. From 2000 to 2007, we retrospectively studied all patients admitted with COPD and isolation of Aspergillus (239; 16.3/1000 admissions). Multivariate logistic regression and survival curves were used. Fifty-three patients had probable IPA (3.6 cases of IPA per 1000 COPD admissions). IPA affects at least 22.1% of patients with COPD and isolation of Aspergill...

Improvement of Heterologous Protein Production in Aspergillus oryzae by RNA Interference with alpha-Amylase Genes.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In this study, we examined the effects of suppression of alpha-amylase on heterologous protein production in A. oryzae, using the bovine chymosin (CHY) as a reporter heterologous protein. The three alpha-amylase genes in A. oryzae have nearly identical DNA sequences from those promoters to the coding regions. Hence we performed silencing of alpha-amylase genes by RNA interference (RNAi) in the A. oryzae CHY producing strain. The silenced strains exhibited a reduction in alpha-amylase activity and an increase in CHY production in the culture medium. This result suggests that suppression of alpha-amylase is effective in hete...
